On this hot, almost-summer day I'd like to introduce Tiye, a circular yoke pullover tee.

Tiye is my first circular yoke sweater, and I loved it! After seeing so many beautiful stranded ski sweaters I decided I needed to try this construction. It was fun to knit and I think this style of sweater is flattering on me. I'm already dreaming of making a stranded colorwork circular yoke sweater for cold weather.

I've already mentioned how much I enjoyed the lovely sock yarn used in this project. The contrast color doesn't use up much yardage, so it would be a good way to use up a bit leftover from making socks. I still have the remainder of my skein, and probably enough to make a nice shawl.

Here are the pattern particulars:

Tiye, named after one of the queens of Ancient Egypt, is a short-sleeved, round yoke tee. The contrasting bands of eyelet in the yoke are inspired by the elaborate collar necklaces worn by Egyptian royalty. Tiye is worked in the round from the top down, with bust and hip darts for a fitted shape. The simple stitch patterns highlight the lovely variations in hand-dyed sock yarn. Shown in size 34” with 1” negative ease.
